PC Health Check
We will give your PC a complete health check which will include removing the dust and dirt that inevitably collects inside the case. We will ensure that your PC has been upgraded to the latest Service Pack for the operating system it is running, We will ensure that windows XP  or Vista is configured to run at its optimum speed (the default settings in XP, Vista and Windows 7 are not optimum). We will run a Virus check on your PC to ensure that your machine is not only physically clean but electronically clean as well. We will pick up the machine from your premises and return it to you, usually on the same day with a report as to its condition, all for the very low sum of £45.

PC and Laptop Repair
Has your machine stopped working? Has it slowed down? Is it noisy? Does it just need a good Spring Clean and Service? Many Computers are positioned on the floor where because they generate a lot of static electricity they attract and suck in dust and dirt, this accumulation can over a period damage the cooling fans and the processor causing unexpected shutdowns etc. We will remove accumulated dust etc from the power supply and processor fan and motherboard, check all cards and connections, replace cooling fans where necessary. 

The picture on the right shows the effect of smoking and dust which has stuck to the nicotine that has been sucked in by the fan.

Did You Know
That a PC supplied with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 in their default configuration are running at least 10% slower than it is capable of?  We can restore it to it full potential.
Laptops using a wireless connection can can often operate far more slowly than they should, this is because their wireless settings are not set to the optimum parameters. We can correct this problem.

Laptop Wireless Settings
Laptop manufacturers do not optimise the wireless settings in their machines! This means that your laptop will appear to run more slowly when accessing the internet using the wireless connection as it does when connected by cable, we can correct this by using a specialised piece of software that optimise your laptop settings.

Setup and Training
If you need help with getting to know your computer, how Windows works, How Windows XP or Vista differ from previous versions, How to write a letter using Word or other Word Processor, or how to use a spreadsheet like Excel. How to save  and arrange pictures or manipulate images, select and crop, adjust brightness and colour etc, we can help.

We have been working with computers since 1992 and look forward to continuing our business in the years to come.

Upgrades
Computers very quickly become outdated. This does not mean that the whole system needs to be replaced. An upgrade can give your system a new lease of life.

Upgrades include-

  • more memory

  • faster processor

  • new motherboard

  • new graphics card

  • larger hard disk

We will happily fit any upgrades you have bought yourself - as long as they are compatible with your system.

Note:  if your existing machine is more than a few years old it is probably not economical to upgrade it as components such as current memory, motherboards and processors are not compatible with those that were available then. A new entry level machine today will often outperform what was considered to be a top of the range machine three years ago.

Monitors
You may be longing for a new Flat Panel screen to replace your old glass CRT monitor (gives you loads more desk space), simply call us we will obtain and install it for you, again for a small handling charge

Broadband Installation
Broadband in itself is not difficult however if you are not technically minded it may present a bit of a challenge, if you have signed up with BT or one of the other ADSL suppliers you will receive the modem and software in a box, that is were we can come in and set it up for you.

If you have signed up for Broadband and require an email address make sure that your supplier knows this as it may not be included in their basic package.

New Computers
Personal Service - We come to you and discuss a specification to suit your requirements. We source our machines from top quality, award winning manufacturers and are thoroughly bench tested and guaranteed. We charge you our cost plus a small handling and administration fee.

Warning
If you live in a rural area your computer is more at risk from lightning strikes as your telephone line is exposed over a considerable distance. If your computer has onboard Ethernet connection the motherboard can be damaged beyond repair, if it has a separate network card, the card can be destroyed but the computer will probably survive. We can help you with this situation.

The solution is to obtain a surge protector that not only protects the computer itself but also protects the telephone connection.

Networking
If your home or small business has more than one PC, you may benefit from installing a network. A network can be wired or wireless.
Some of the advantages of a network are -

  • you can easily share files between PCs- no more saving to floppy disk to move files from one computer to another

  • you can share peripherals such as a printer, CD writer, DVD drive etc.

  • the network makes backing-up important data quick and easy

  • the secure sharing of an internet connection

  • for gamers - play your games in a more challenging and exciting way - against another person!

We offer complete networking solutions for the home user and small businesses. We can build and install servers and configure a backup system. Join together just two computers or as many as you want!

Wireless Networking
If you have a Broadband Internet connection and you would like to use one or more computers anywhere in your house, office or garden without untidy and unsightly wires we can supply the necessary bits and pieces to create a wireless network. No longer do you have to give way to the children who want to do their homework, let them have their own machine. Wireless Networking is not expensive and provides many benefits.

Security
If you have a broadband internet connection it is vital that your computer is protected from Viruses, Trojans and Hackers to do this you need a Firewall and  Anti-Virus software, these need to be correctly configured.

Backup
We can install automatic remote backup software that will backup your selected data daily to a remote secure internet site, you data will also be encrypted for your peace of mind, this service requires pre-installed software and costs just £10 per month.

Internet
We can also supply internet connections and additional email addresses.

Charges
We charge £45 plus any parts or software that may be required to repair a computer, given the price of new computers these days we don't believe in charging more than than £45 excluding parts is justified.
